5 Spring High Street Pieces That Actually Look Designer

We’re officially entering ‘between seasons’ weather, which is famously tricky to dress for. One brand making the transition slightly easier – not to mention a lot chicer – is George. The brand’s new spring capsule collection features staples that can be styled in countless ways, along with a handful of statement items that’ll give your spring wardrobe a decidedly fresh feel. The result? An affordable capsule that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is…

1. Versatile trench

The humble trench is a sartorial heavyweight come springtime, perfect for throwing on over the top of any outfit, smart or casual, for an instantly polished finish. We rate this checkered style complete with a wide, open collar and the additional gun flap detailing, giving the piece a touch of luxury.

2. Off-duty sweatshirt

Arguably, a perfectly slouchy sweater is one of the most worn items in any wardrobe. Team with jeans, darted trousers, or even a pleated skirt for a high-low contrast.

3. Relaxed jeans

While there are whispers of the bootcut and skinny jean revival, we’re firmly standing by baggy jeans this season – not only are they super comfortable, but they also offer an effortlessly cool feel to your look.

4. Quilted jacket

This animal-print quilted jacket is perfect to stay stylish (and cosy) this spring. A trendy choice to take you from breezy picnics with friends or for your daily office commute, this one has two front patch pockets and gorgeous khaki trim detailing – definitely one for our spring shopping list.

5. Wide-leg trousers

Worn to the office, while running errands, or even for drinks with your friends, tailored trousers – especially in a tonal hue – will overdeliver on your standard cost-per-wear ratio.
